Gears of War 2 - Previewer's Last Words
Gears of War 2 embargo was lifted today and the web is on fire with campaign previews, new screenshots and more. Most interesting are the last words of those that previewed Gears:
iGN - Gears of War 2 Opening Act Hands-on
"Ultimately, while Gears of War 2 tinkers little with the original's formula, it pushes every part of the original package to even more epic realms. A blockbuster in every sense of the word, it's undoubtedly the biggest and boldest game coming to the Xbox 360 this winter."
Eurogamer - Gears of War 2 Hands On
"deep down this is a far from old-fashioned game. As the single-player continues to bring a touch of Resident Evil's thoughtfulness to the futuristic pomp of Halo, and the multiplayer broadens its scope to take on tantalising aspects of Geometry Wars and co, it seems a pretty safe bet that this Christmas, the frosty air will ring out with the sound of a million Locust heads being stomped underfoot."
TVG - Gears of War 2 - Hands On Preview
"So the campaign looks beefier, the multiplayer has been expanded upon, and the Locusts now really do appear in hordes - let the final war of humanity commence!"
Videogamer - Gears of War 2 Hands-on Preview
"As our time with Gears of War 2's campaign came to an end, we were left gagging for more. And that's one hell of a reassuring feeling to have. It's a very familiar experience, but undeniably it's a better one. And we've only played through the first act. We'd tell you to get very, very excited for this game, but we've got a funny feeling you already are."
CVG - Preview: Gears of War 2
"It's certainly a more epic, more polished introduction than the first game offered - and that's exactly what Gears 2 needed to do to hold our attention two years after the original."
Looks like Gears of War 2 will be an Epic win for the Xbox 360.
